THE ATHLETIC director of a Miami high school was arrested on cocaine trafficking charges Tuesday by authorities from Georgia and Broward County. John Varone Sr., 52, athletic director of Norland Senior High School, is accused of supplying 491 grams of cocaine to three men who drove it from Miami to Georgia last fall, authorities said. Georgia officials plan to take Varone to Long County, Ga., where the warrant for his arrest was issued. Varone is a 28-year veteran of the Dade County school system who is two years away from retirement.
